FINAL SCORE: PEP 6, San Francisco 1 - Apparently this was the 1st time Pepperdine had ever played at USF. All the previous matches had been at Pepperdine. Pepperdine didn't exactly dominate - dropped the doubles point and every singles courts was fairly with close with the exception of 4.

John Morrissey booked a 6-3 victory in the first set. UCLA's Marcos Giron owns a 2-1 lead in second.

JM looking Awsome, looking like ATP tour pro.

John played great today, much better than yesterday against Gomez. I was really impressed how he imposed his game against Marcos today. It's really a shame that rain stopped the play... I hope he continues to play that well Sunday.

Nolan also showing some very good tennis this w-e. Novikov is a very very good player, great touch and plays a level above, but Nolan has been fighting hard and has caused him a lot of problems. For a freshman, he is doing exceptionally well.

Well, Nolan is a very talented player too. so that isn't surprising to me. Anyway, is the Sunday match being Webcast ?? Stupid Pac-12 network doesn't even work.

As predicted IU-Mich is 4-3 and to UM. Indiana had a 5-1 3rd set lead in the final match and lost, a haunting experience for the freshman although the seniors went down weakly so they should take more blame. And it was outdoors.

Very solid win for John today against a tough opponent. Marcos played well and tried to force the error on the BH side but John responded very brio. High quality tennis, and one of the most enjoyable college matches I've seen in a while.

You mean because they will win the Team title much easier than expected ? Clock hasn't hit the midnight yet.

That #49 team ranking probably isn't good enough to get an at-large bid. Season could end in April for the Cardinal like I mentioned earlier, although I thought they would at least play ONE match in the NCAAs.

washington, cal, pepperdine matches will probably determine whether they get in tourney or not

Embarrassing performance from Rice today against Oklahoma. They only brought 5 players so they forfeited #3 dubs and #6 singles and the 5 that played got destroyed. They would have been better off not playing the match.

Don't worry, when we beat Virginia in the quarterfinals, World will stand up and take notice.
